BEND STIFFENERS
Bend Stiffeners are used on umbilicals, cables and flexible
pipe where dynamic loading creates a need for constant dynamic
protection. Bend Stiffeners are made of polyurethane and may
incorporate a metal insert or flange.
Advantages:

HSDW CLAMP
HSDW (High Strength Deep Water) Clamps are developed
to meet the deepwater BOP control requirements of multiplex
and hydraulic hot line installation on drilling risers. These
clamps provide up to a sustained tension of 2000-lbf
without inducing jacket slip or damaging the umbilical in
the grip process. HSDW Clamps are made from stainless
steel shells with customizable nitrile inserts and can be
secured to a variety of mounting options.
